2013 City of the Year

This September the City of West Fargo was awarded the 2013 City of the Year by the North Dakota League of Cities. The ND League of Cities cited West Fargo's rapid growth of its school system, industrial park, and subdivisions as some of the reasons for the award.

West Fargo, with an estimated population of 30,000, is one of the fastest growing communities in North Dakota with a growth rate of 72.9% between 2000 and 2010. We are proud of our student oriented school district, accessible park facilities, and a variety of housing options. All these features and more help to make the community of West Fargo an ideal city for your home. Boasting opportunities for both families and businesses, West Fargo combines all the benefits of a small town atmosphere but also remains competitive in the growing metropolitan area of Fargo/Moorhead. Welcome to the City on the Grow!
